According to analysis by BIT official Chinese (@BITofficial_CN), the 7-day implied volatility of Bitcoin has fallen below the 30% mark to 25%, similar to the low volatility period in the summer of 2023.In the context of relatively low option prices, analysts suggest that investors consider a "spot replacement strategy" ------ selling part of their Bitcoin spot holdings, replacing it with a bullish call spread or directly buying call options, which can retain upside exposure. If the price continues to decline, the maximum loss is limited to the option premium, and the released funds can also earn interest elsewhere.

"White-haired stock god" Serenity stated that AI investment may be simpler than the market imagines, as Nvidia and its CEO Jensen Huang have actually been releasing signals of future industry trends in advance, but the market often chooses to ignore these trends before they truly explode. Serenity noted that when Nvidia heavily locked in EML (Electrically Modulated Laser) and laser production capacity in 2025, the market questioned the photonics sector, believing that related companies had issues with speculation or even management. However, a year later, the stock prices of related optical communication companies surged significantly. Among them, LITE rose by 678%, and AAOI rose by 475.12%.Serenity believes that the market is currently repeating a similar pattern. In 2026, Nvidia locked in continuous wave (CW) laser and EML production capacity through long-term agreements, while clearly promoting the transition to an 800V power architecture and repeatedly emphasizing that co-packaged optics (CPO) and "Physical AI" will become important trends in the next phase. The market may once again underestimate the industry signals released by Nvidia, but Nvidia and Jensen Huang's judgments often serve as leading indicators of AI industry trends.

Galaxy Research analyst Alex Thorn pointed out that as the likelihood of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026 significantly decreases, the U.S. SEC and CFTC are intensifying independent cryptocurrency regulatory actions. The bill previously gained bipartisan support in the Senate Banking Committee but has stalled due to unresolved ethical rules for officials regarding cryptocurrency, pressure from community banks leading to some Republican positions softening, and disputes over developer protection clauses. The Senate Majority Leader failed to push for a vote before the August recess, and the September session is only about two to three weeks long, leading Galaxy to lower the probability to 10%.On the SEC side, the originally planned "Reg Crypto" exemption (which provides a new path for primary issuance of crypto assets) and "Innovation Exemption" (which allows tokenized securities to trade in DeFi secondary markets) have been postponed multiple times. It is reported that the agency had retreated due to opposition from the traditional securities industry, but may restart due to the bleak outlook of the bill, with text expected to be released in the coming weeks to months. These measures are likely to be time-limited sandboxes that will face litigation and require years to refine. The CFTC is actively advocating for jurisdiction over prediction market contracts, responding to the New York Attorney General's attempt to issue an emergency order to ban Kalshi event contracts nationwide, continuing the tug-of-war over federal and state jurisdiction regarding prediction markets.Thorn believes that while the bill covers a comprehensive framework including registration licensing, compliance monitoring, and consumer protection, it is currently more dominated by political factors. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's planned departure in November also adds urgency to the advancement of the rules. The related actions aim to fill the legislative vacuum but may ultimately undergo a lengthy judicial and rule-making process.
